One we did was an iriminage variation (20 year throw) where you hook a shomen strike with the bokken, irimi to get behind them and put them off balance then cut kiriage (upwards for all you non sword people) into their neck.

As I recall we had alot of fun with it, and surprisingly, no one got knocked in the face

~~Hi All! Was just wondering if anyone out there practices with dissimilar weapons, either prearranged or free. You know, bokken vs jo, jo vs bo, bo vs tanto (that's a fun one!). That sort of thing.

Fun stuff Paula.

Actually I've been developing a weapons demo with some mixed weapon stuff.

Goes along the lines of first uke attacks with tanto, tori does kotegaeshi and keeps tanto. Next uke attacks with bokken, tori uses tanto to aid in guiding the bokken and uke into aigamae ate (irimi nage throw or neck slice depending on audience ) where tori then has both bokken and tanto. The third uke attacks (tsuki) with jo and gets a feel for what a combined tanto/bokken response feels like as the jo glances off the tanto, making space for a shomen uchi with the bokken. In the end of the sequence we have Tori with a collection of weapons and a pile of 3 Ukes on the floor.
